Treaaurer Steel walked into the Sure

Commerce this morning and called out,
"Hollo, Lyman. I've got a little matter
for you to look into."
"I didn't recall him at first," said Mr.
Lyman this morning, "but aa soon as I
remembered who he was my pleasure
at aeelng an old friend quit made up
for the fact that ho preaented a dun
for tlt.009.2S. So I aat down and wrote
him a letter enclosing a draft for the

"That la next to the largest claim that
iwe have e vet had to pay In the west,"
aid Mr. Lyman, aa he aealed up the
big draft "We paid one for 140,000 a

then there was the one for more-than

Salem, Or., Sept 11. The paid at
v tendance at the state fair yesterday was
8390 with the, total number on the
ground at least 10,000. While this
number seemed small compared with" the
record-breaking crowds of "Vjfednesday
and Thursday, at any former state fair
"it would have been considered a large
attendance.
Yesterday was Orange day and a large
part of the crowd ' wore the badges of
the state grange. One of the features
of the day was the parade of premium
livestock in the morning, which was de
clared by many stockmen present to be
one of the best ever held in the north
west. Judging .was continued through
the greater part of the day, the chief
attention being given to the poultry ax
hlbit. Nearly all the awards were made.
Over 300 birds were exhibited, which
surpassed both In .number and in qual
ity the exhibit at ahy previous state
fair. - "
Address oa Education. - '
In the evening the usual entertain
ment was held in the auditorium, which
was packed. The principal speaker Was
j. h. ACKerman, wno delivered an ad
dress on "The Grange as a Factor in
Education." He spoke of the good work
that had been done by the Salem board
- of trade and the chamber of commerce
of Portland and said the grange waa ex-
rected to do for the rural districts what
hese institutions ., had done .for the
towns. He called attention to the fact
that nearly all wealth was produced by
agriculture and'' that the countries
which were the best educated were in
variably the most wealthy. Continuing
he spoke of the great advances that hud
been made In the schools in the -last
twenty years, but said the town schools
had far outstripped those of the country
and that raising the standard of thoae
schools was pre-eminently the work of
the grange., while speaking or the com
paratively small number of boys re
ceiving scientific agricultural training he
spoke of the. work that is being done to
remedy this defect. ' 'j

Eugene. Or., Sept. 21. C. W. Curtis
of San Francisco, who during the past
two years has made extensive filings
on different streams In western Oregon
for water rower sites, has filed with the
county clerk of Lane county a notice of
appropriation of 12,000 miners Inches
of the waters of Udell Lake in Klamath
county. Just across the line from Lne.
The proposed power cannl will extend
for a mile to Halt creek in Lane county
and down that stream to the falls of
the creek, where they are araln diverted
into Diamond canal, previously located,
and which extends to the mouth of
Eagle creek. A great amount of power
can be developed there.
Who Curtis' employers are has always
been a mystery, as he has been very
reticent about his plans. He has made
filings at different points on the upper
McKenzle and upper Willamette rivers
in Lane county and the Santlam river
in Linn county.
It is reported that he is working for
the Southern Pacific company, which
has had several crews of surveyors up
the McKenxle and Willamette during the
past two months measuring the flow of
those streams to ascertain the amount
of water power to be obtained in case
the company wishes to utilize them at
some future time for the operation of
trains over the Cascades.

Stockholm. Sept 21. The Countess
de Mil nmla, better known as Christine
Nllsson, who was World famous years ago
as an operatic singer, Is dangerously ill at
her childhood home near the hamlet of
Hussaby, on the southern confines of
the Swedish peninsula.' The countess
has been out of the public eye for
twenty years now, but there are many
who still preserve a vivid recollection of
how her exquisite voice thrilled large
audiences in all the capltsJs of Europe
and in America In the 70s.
The once famous sinKer Is now in
her sixty-fifth year. Her father was
a peasant and she was the eighth child.
tier lather was an ImnHssluned ajlmlrer
of music and It was from him that
Christine learned the first scale of the
muBlcul notes. She beiran her public
career as a child by smfiing at fairs and
weddings under the direction of an elder
brother. One day at a fair at LJumbv
the singing of Christine attracted the
attention of a local magistrate bv the
name of Thornerhjeim, who saw her
parents and arranged for the education
of the young girl. She was first sent
to an excellent school in Oothenberg. I
where she remained two years. Aft- I
erward she was sent to Stockholm,
where she was instructed by M. Frank
Berwald. She made her first appear
ance at Stockholm in I860, went to
Paris, continued her musical education
under Masset and Wurtel. and made her
debut at the Theater Lyrique In Oc
tober, 1864, as VIoIetta In the "Travl
ata," with such success that she was
engaged for three years. She made her
rirst appearance in London at Her Ma
Jesty'a theatre in 1867 and proved tho
great operatic attraction at that estab
lishment during the season. In 1870 she
made her first visit to the United
States, where, within less than a year,
she Is said to have cleared nearly
$200,000
Her ffrst husband was1 M. Augusts
Rousaud, the son of an- eminent French
merchant, to whom she was married in
London in 1872. He died In Paris 10
years later, and in 1887 she married
Count Angel de Miranda. Miranda was
a very unuttractlve little man. the son
of a lady who was governess to the
first wife of the late king of Spain
and whom the latter raised to the rank
oi countess.
The story of Miranda's marriage with
Christine Nilsson is a peculiar one. He
was her husband only in name, and
never lived with her. The famous sing
er merely married him on account of
his daughter. The latter was a lovely
girl whose acquaintance Christine made
at Nice. The singer became devotedly
attached to the girl and finally declared
that she could not bear the Idea of
separation and proposed to adopt her.
The Count de Miranda gave his consent,
stipulating, however, that the singer
should likewise adopt hint as husband
and provide for his financial welfare.
undertaking to remain her husband onlv
in name. The arrangement was carried
out according to agreement. With her
marriage Christine retired from the
operatic stage and continued to divide
her time between France , and Spain. Of
late years, however, she 'has made her
